Wednesday's Class 2A regional quarterfinal offered no more competition than last week's 2A-6 District tournament for the homestanding Celtics, who are, in a word, dominant.

Trinity rang up its fourth consecutive shutout in postseason play with an 8-0 win over 2A-5 runner-up Santa Fe. The Celtics struck for their eighth and final goal in the match's 33rd minute, then coasted to halftime where officials employed the mercy rule for the third time in their last four outings.

Senior Tabby Tindell recorded her second straight hat trick with three goals and an assist to run her county-best goal total to an even 40 for the season.

Juniors Alyssa Eashoo and Abigail Camargo each netted a pair of goals and Briana Camargo added a goal and two assists to push Trinity's goal advantage to 36-0 over the last two weeks.

Eashoo, last year's player of the year, chipped in a pair of assists and freshman Kelsey Colbert notched an assist for a deep and talented Celtic squad.

Veteran coach Blendhel Elias has made his expectations for this year's team very clear: play for the program's first state title after a pair of heartbreaking exits in the semifinals, including last year's 6-0 drubbing at the hands of Jacksonville Bolles.

His opinion didn't change after the Celtics' latest rout that saw Trinity fire 29 shots to only one by the visiting Raiders. All in just 40 minutes of play.

"We're taking it game by game," Elias said. "This is one game, so we've got four more to go."

Elias will get no argument from Raiders coach Ken Murphy, who could only shake his head when describing what he believes is one of the elite 2A programs in all of Florida.

"This (Trinity) team, to me, should no doubt make it to the state finals," Murphy said. "I've been doing this awhile and they have the complete package. They're unselfish with the ball. They move it around extremely well. They communicate extremely well with each other. You don't see that with a high school team."

Tindell and Eashoo alternated goals over the first 14 minutes as the Celtics built a commanding 4-0 lead. But there was no quit in the Raiders, who packed it in defensively, trying desperately to survive the onslaught.

Santa Fe (17-7-1) managed to hold the Celtics without a goal for a full 10 minutes before Tindell and the Camargo sisters exploded for the game's final four goals in a nine-minute flourish.

With that core group of skill players up front and a physical defense with senior keeper Taylor Mosley on the back end, Elias believes this team has the formula to get the two-time state semifinalists over the hump in 2013.

"The twins control the midfield — they're playmakers," he said. "Then Tabby and Eashoo get a lift from that and they are two finishers. It's the complete package.

"I told them to try to finish the game early and not to get hurt. And that's what they did. We were dominant completely."

Santa Fe managed just one shot against the Celtics, but a charging Mosley booted it away to quell the Raiders' only offensive threat of the night.

Trinity (16-2) now moves on to the regional semifinal on Saturday where the Celtics will face 2A-5 champ Keystone Heights, who knocked off Crystal River, 3-2, in two overtimes.

It was the spot where Murphy was hoping his team would land, but after last week's 5-4 loss to Keystone Heights in the 2A-5 final, he knew the die was cast.

"Unfortunately we dropped districts, which meant we had to face (Trinity) in the first round," Murphy said. "We all know Trinity Catholic has a solid group of girls — well-coached, great discipline — so we knew what we were getting into. We ran into a buzzsaw tonight."
